Food Groups & In the Kitchen....

We've discussed the different food groups.  They learned where fruits and vegetables come from and how they grow.  We planted seeds in a clear bag to watch the progression.  They have enjoyed going to the sunny window each day to look at their seeds.  They were so excited to see the vine coming out of the bags!  They practiced cutting food (of course with a fake knife). We even pretended to milk a cow. The kids enjoyed making blueberry muffins and making fresh squeezed lemonade.  And of course, we had a pretend lemonade stand!  They didn't even realize they were actually learning!  We learned about pouring and measuring different types of ingredients.  We practiced measuring with sensory bins and with real food!
